Archive of Messy Church Sessions
2015 to 2016
Messy Easter – This is the finished banner from our first Messy Church. The children contributed hand prints and painting, messy indeed! This session also explored the Easter story through craft activities. The kids also enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and then a celebration including action songs.
Joseph Celebration – A great Messy Church session, sharing the bible story of Joseph through crafts, games, songs and a story. Followed by a delicious tea and cakes!! Thank you to everyone who came along.
Rocks and Sand – The children had lots of fun exploring a popular bible story involving lots of mess! Some of the brilliant artwork from the session:
Noah – A fun filled session exploring the story of Noah and his animal filled ark!
The Good Shepherd – Can you guess what this session was about? The clue is in the title! Baa, Baa. Check out some the fun we had and the amazing cupcakes one of our volunteers made….
Christmas 2015 – Some photos of our Messy Church Christmas. We heard about the good news that Jesus was born as a Saviour! If you don’t know much about Him, take the time this year to find out for yourself.
Light – This was a particularly messy but enjoyable session for the young ones. We learned that during difficult situations, God is with us to help us through. In the Bible it says ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ (John 8v12). Here are some photos from the session:
New Beginnings – The perfect way to start 2016. We heard about a son who had a new beginning after making quite a mess of things. His father showed him the same love and forgiveness that God shows each one of us. It was a busy afternoon for everyone and check out the big cardboard house – impressive!
Daniel in the Lion’s Den – Roar!!! We learnt all about Daniel who was thrown in a Lion’s den. The children were encouraged to put their trust in God, just like Daniel did when he was afraid.
Jonah and the Big Fish – In June 2016 we focused on the story of Jonah and the whale.
Noah – A fun filled session exploring the story of Noah and his animal filled ark!
The Good Shepherd – Can you guess what this session was about? The clue is in the title! Baa, Baa. Check out some the fun we had and the amazing cupcakes one of our volunteers made….
Love your Neighbour – This session focused on “The Good Samaritan” bible story. The children were encouraged to consider ways in which they can help others. We watched a short video film telling the story and sang song fun songs. There was also plenty of arts and crafts as always, and FOOD!
Jesus Light of the World – On 5 November 2016 we had a firework themed session. The bible verse which we focused on was “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8v12)
December 2016 – Celebrating the most popular bible story, the birth of Jesus.
